2011


Letter from Dr. Barbara Atkinson Dear Friends: Thank you for joining us for today’s University of Kansas Medical Center Alumni celebration. This is such an exciting time to be a part of our institution. In the past year, we have experienced a great momentum in our missions around education, research, clinical care and outreach. We are training more health care professionals for Kansas and the region than ever before. The School of Medicine this fall opened new four-year medical education programs in Wichita and Salina. We are confident that these expansions will help us educate more rural physicians for our state. KU Medical Center has had another outstanding year in biomedical research. In June, we joined an elite group of research institutions across the country when we received a $20 million Clinical and Translational Science Award from the National Institute of Health. In August, our Alzheimer’s program became a nationally designated Alzheimer’s Disease Center by the NIH. Other accomplishments included applying for National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation in September; moving into newly renovated lab space in Wahl-Hixon; the opening in September of the new Bioscience and Technology Business Center; and the opening of our state-of-the-art Medical Office Building.

Travis Tollefson, MD, FACS I

n his brief career, Travis Tollefson, MD, FACS has exemplified a combination of clinical skill, pioneering research and dedicated service that has made him one of the University of Kansas School of Medicine’s most outstanding graduates. Dr. Tollefson hails from Hiawatha, Kan., and was the third of five children born to Dean and Peggy Tollefson. His siblings served as a source of inspiration for him – including his older sister, Denise, who is also a graduate of the KU School of Medicine.

Dr. Tollefson earned an undergraduate degree in biology from Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan. He completed a year of graduate school, studying neuroscience at the University of Kansas, before being accepted at the KU School of Medicine. There, he studied the treatment of Parkinson’s disease with stereotactic neurosurgery under the guidance of his mentor, Michael Gordon, PhD, who was then in the Department of Pharmacology. Dr. Tollefson did his residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at KU and came under the guidance of Doug Girod, MD, the chairman of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at KU Medical Center. Dr. Tollefson’s decision to pursue a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of California–Davis was due in large part to the mentorship of David Kriet, MD, an associate professor of facial plastic surgery, who arrived at KU Medical Center the same month Dr. Tollefson began residency. In 2004, Dr. Tollefson joined the faculty of the University of California–Davis and is now an assistant professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. He has received international attention for his research on the development of an artificial muscle prototype that has the potential to revolutionize the care of patients with facial paralysis due to gunshot wounds, facial trauma, tumor resection and congenital causes.

2011 Early Career Achievement in Medicine Award MD, University of Kansas, 1998

Dr. Tollefson has always felt a strong desire to help those in need, and he has traveled to China, Ecuador and Africa many times to donate his time as a cleft surgeon on medical missions. He serves as associate medical director for the Operation of Hope Cleft Lip and Palate Foundation and is a board member of Smile China USA. Dr. Tollefson and his fiancé, Flora Rafii, live in Sacramento, where she is completing her pediatrics residency, and they plan to continue medical mission work together as their family grows. For his outstanding clinical, research and charitable contributions to otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, the KU Medical Alumni Association is proud to present Travis Tollefson with its 2011 Early Career Achievement in Medicine Award.

E. Grey Dimond, MD F

ew individuals in the medical profession have contributed as much as E. Grey Dimond, MD, has – not only to the University of Kansas School of Medicine, but to medical education at the national and international levels. It has been more than fifty years since the charismatic physician and educator served as a faculty member at the KU School of Medicine, but many alumni still vividly recall his keen intellect and unique approach to teaching medicine.

Dr. Dimond was born in St. Louis, Mo., and grew up in Terre Haute, Ind. He earned his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Indiana. He served as a captain in the Army Medical Corps and was chief of cardiology of the Far East Command in Tokyo. When he returned home from the war, Dr. Dimond became a clinical fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1950, Dr. Dimond joined the faculty at the KU School of Medicine. During his first year at the School of Medicine, he established the school’s first division of cardiology and began the process of setting up a cardiac catheterization laboratory. Three years later, he became the youngest chair of a department of medicine in the school’s history. It was at the KU School of Medicine that Dr. Dimond discovered and refined one of his greatest passions – teaching medical students. Dr. Dimond often told his students that a medical education doesn’t last four years … it lasts forty years. After a decade of service, Dr. Dimond left the KU School of Medicine to become the director of the cardiovascular center at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, Cal. While at Scripps, he developed innovative continuing education programs for physicians to update their cardiovascular disease diagnosis and therapy skills. He returned to the Kansas City area in 1971 to establish a medical school at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. Dr. Dimond introduced a six-year intensive program that was considered a radical departure from the traditional four-year degree followed by four years of medical school. The school remains a national model of medical education and has trained more than 3,000 physicians. Dr. Dimond has spread his passion for medicine and education across the globe. He was one of the fi rst physicians to visit China as that country began to emerge from 25 years of Communist rule in the early 1970s. His world travels have included more than 40 trips to Asia. He has written 18 books, including a textbook on electrocardiography and his autobiography Take Wing: Interesting Things that Happened on My Way to School. He takes great pride in his four daughters and has remained active as a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus at UMKC. For his 50-year legacy of innovative medical education, research and clinical practice, the KU Medical Alumni Association is proud to name E. Grey Dimond as its 2011 Honorary Medical Alumnus.

Donna E. Sweet, MD, AAHIVS, MACP D

onna Sweet, MD, AAHIVS, MACP, is a strong believer that there’s no place like home. From her Wichita roots, she has developed a reputation as one of the top physicians in our state and as one of the world’s most renowned experts on HIV and AIDS care.

The oldest of eight children, Dr. Sweet was born at Via Christi Health St. Francis in Wichita. Her parents were farmers and she grew up just east of Wichita on a small farm outside Benton, Kan. She stayed in Kansas to earn her bachelors and masters degree in biology/microbiology at Wichita State University as a Gore Scholar. Then it was off to medical school at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. She returned home to complete residency in internal medicine at the School of Medicine–Wichita. After completing her residency, Dr. Sweet accepted a position with the KU School of Medicine as an instructor of internal medicine and has remained with the medical school during her entire career. She was promoted to full professor of internal medicine at the KU School of Medicine–Wichita in 1993. Early in her career, Dr. Sweet began working with HIV patients. Often, few medications were available and there were no existing services to provide care for HIV-positive patients. She worked with service organizations in Wichita to develop a system of care that would support HIV and AIDS patient needs.

2011 Distinguished Medical Alumna MD, University of Kansas, 1979

Dr. Sweet has received international acclaim for her work around HIV and AIDS. She was given the Award of Courage from the American Foundation for AIDS Research in 1992 and a year later was awarded the Administrator’s Citation from the Health Care Financing Administration, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, for her care of people living with HIV without regard for their ability to pay. In 2000, the American Medical Association identified Dr. Sweet as one of four “Heroes in Medicine” by awarding her with one of the first Pride in the Profession awards for her leadership in AIDS issues and for her care of patients with the disease. Her outstanding efforts as a teacher and a clinician have been honored as well. Dr. Sweet has been married for more than 34 years and has three step-children, six grandchildren, and is soon to be a great-grandmother.

She is a brilliant physician, a humanitarian, a tireless fundraiser, an advocate, a teacher and a mentor. The KU Medical Alumni Association is pleased to honor Donna Sweet with the 2011 Distinguished Medical Alumna Award.


School of Health Professions


Jennifer Anson BSN, CRNA U

niversity of Kansas Medical Center leaders want all of their graduates to contribute to the greater good of the communities in which they work. Jennifer Anson, BSN, CRNA, a 2008 graduate of the nurse anesthesia education department, has far eclipsed those expectations, with her unparalleled desire to help disadvantaged individuals all over the world.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Nebraska Methodist College in 2000, Anson began her career at the Round Rock Medical Center’s emergency department in Round Rock, Texas. Over the next five years, she furthered her experience by specializing in flight nursing and ICU nursing. After extensive work in level 2 and 3 trauma care, she enrolled in the nurse anesthesia education program in the KU School of Allied Health (now called the School of Health Professions). After completing the 36-month program, she accepted a position as a CRNA at Heartland Anesthesia Services. Currently, she’s working as a CRNA at the Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, Neb., where she specializes in emergency, cardiothoracic, neurogenic, pediatric and obstetric anesthesia. Despite her outstanding professional career, it’s Anson’s work outside the hospital that has earned the respect and admiration of her peers. Philanthropy has long been a cornerstone of Anson’s life, and from a young age, she took a great interest in helping those in need. In 1993, she began taking part in the Faith Community Church’s Mexicali Outreach program, where she provided nursing care to the children of Mexicali, Mexico. After completing the nurse anesthesia program, she participated in medical mission trips, providing anesthesia services to the people of Africa, Peru and the Dominican Republic.

Anson has also devoted her time to easing the suffering of individuals affected by natural disasters. As part of the Creighton University Disaster Relief Team, she provided medical and non-medical care in the Dominican Republic. On short notice, Anson traveled to earthquake-affected areas and worked in less-than-optimal conditions and with limited supplies. And she was on the ground within a week after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, bringing much-needed anesthesia to those in need of surgery. Anson has plans to lead a medical mission trip to Arequipa, Peru, to provide anesthesia services and help individuals dealing with diseases common to the area. As part of her commitment to better help those in need, Anson has continued her education by studying Spanish at Metro Community College. For her constant efforts to expand her healing reach and bring care and comfort to those in need, the KU Health Professions Alumni Association is proud to bestow the 2011 Early Career Achievement Award upon Jennifer Anson.

Born in Corning, New York, Loescher-Junge attended Ithaca College where she earned a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy. After graduating, she took a position with the Burke Rehabilitation Center in White Plains, New York, where she served as the assistant director of physical therapy. In 1969, Loescher-Junge moved to Kansas City, Mo., and joined the Baptist Medical Center as the director of physical therapy. Then, in 1977, she was named Baptist Medical Center’s director of rehabilitation services. It was at this time that she returned to the academic arena to start work on a master’s degree in administration with an emphasis in health care at Central Michigan University — a goal she completed in 1981. As a member of the Missouri Physical Therapy Association, Loescher-Junge worked for several years with the administration of Rockhurst College in Kansas City to develop a physical therapy program that became accredited in 1984. Loescher-Junge also served as the coordinator of rehabilitation services at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., where she oversaw the comprehensive arthritis and rehabilitation program, the departments of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology and audiology. In 1988, Loescher-Junge transitioned to a career as a self-employed consultant in the area of physical medicine and rehabilitation. In addition to her consulting practice, she also worked with ADA Works, Inc. of Overland Park, Kan., to design and implement its ADA compliance software program. Three years later, Loescher-Junge joined the University of Kansas as the interim chairperson of the physical therapy and rehabilitation science department. After holding this position for almost three years, she accepted the role of assistant dean. In 1994 she was appointed interim chairperson of the department of health information management and held that position until December 1995.

Francie Firner Stoner, MT (ASCP) A

s a health care innovator and pioneer, Francie Stoner, MT(ASCP), has played a remarkable role in the advancement of technology.

Born in Lawrence and raised in Prairie Village, Kan., Stoner grew up a dedicated fan of the University of Kansas and enthusiastically joined the Jayhawk nation when it was time to attend college. It was there that she became fascinated with microbiology. Stoner received her bachelor’s degree in the field and then attended the University of Kansas Medical Center, where she received her B.S. in medical technology. After graduating, Stoner began working at KU Medical Center’s blood bank while serving as a weekend supervisor at the Medical Center’s night lab. After the birth of her first daughter in 1975, Stoner resigned from the Medical Center to raise her daughter. Not content to stay at home, Stoner obtained her license as an EMT and went on to serve as a volunteer for the West Platte ambulance service. In 1978, after the birth of her second daughter, Stoner accepted a position at MAWD Laboratories as a bench tech. In only six months, she was promoted to assistant lab manager and became responsible for the microbiology, serology and urinalysis areas. At the same time, she designed and delivered reference testing and training programs for the hospitals MAWD served, honing skills that would ultimately lead to microbiology teaching techniques that would be used by hundreds of healthcare offices and corporations.

Shortly thereafter, in 1981, Stoner was recruited to be Director of Education Services for the microbiology media manufacturer REMEL. In this position, she traveled around the country delivering training seminars and workshops designed to help laboratories maximize their productivity through the integration of superior practices – many of which she benchmarked. Thanks to her novel approaches and tireless work ethic, Stoner was recruited in 1984 to work for the Cerner Corporation, an organization that at the time consisted of only 35 employees. Over the course of her 27 years with the Cerner Corporation, Stoner advanced the frontier of health care technology by creating and promoting innovations that allowed health care systems to become safer, more efficient, highly productive organizations. As a VP and managing director, Stoner used her experience as an EMT to lead the development of FirstNet – Cerner’s emergency medicine solution system that has been translated into multiple languages and implemented broadly in the U.S. and internationally. At the Cerner Corporation, Stoner achieved an unprecedented level of success. She became the first person to win the President’s Award and be named the Cerner Associate of the Year. She was also the first woman to hold a director’s position and only the second to be promoted to the position of Vice President. Even as Stoner pursued professional excellence and executive status, her dedication as a mother and mentor never wavered. In addition to being a constant presence and positive example to her two daughters, she has continued to give back to her community, to orphans and the underprivileged locally and around the world, especially in Peru and Haiti, and to support her alma mater by sharing her knowledge with KU students. For her unique vision, philanthropic spirit and dedication to eliminating the boundaries of health care, the KU Health Professions Alumni Association is proud to bestow the Distinguished Health Professions Alumna Award upon Francie Stoner.
